Electrition bonding all basin taps

[mrbg07546]

hi. My sparky bonded all basin taps and kitchen taps. Another conworker said that's not needed and I only need them initial feeds . Views?

This is probably a FAQ. But "coworker2" is correct, IF you have RCD protection.

Bathroom basin pipes might require bonding, but it's rather unlikely in a new installation.
Kitchen sink pipes do not and haven't for 25+ years.
Taps do not and never did.

Is this the same person who wired the mains supply to the heating controller and 'forgot' to put the neutral wire in the neutral terminal?

You have lots of questions regarding 'your' tradesmen.

Either you are doing the work yourself or you hire complete cowboys.

My view is that IHNI what that means.

Really? Do we have to have all this clever young person lazy web talk from people who should know better and often criticise others for similar offences? Does it contribute anything?

Actually the point I was making was that I questioned the use of an RCBO at the start of the thread, because it appears that organisations like NICEIC have been training their MCS course attendees by saying that a PV submain 'must have an RCD because it's a new circuit'.

A number of recent PV installations I have heard about have experienced tripping problems, which were unnecessary because the RCD was redundant.
